This week I will start a new 5-week series called Five Hard Sayings of Jesus. In this series I will focus on five particular teachings of Jesus that are hard either because they are difficult to understand, or because they are easy to understand but difficult to live out! This Sunday's message will be on Jesus' teaching that if you have the faith of a mustard seed you will be able to move mountains. (This teaching actually occurs in slightly different forms and contexts in three different gospels so the above quotation is a compilation). Have you ever felt guilty about your lack of faith when you read these words of Jesus? We will talk about what Jesus is teaching us here about faith and why this is actually a very encouraging (though challenging) word from our Lord.
